Wow! I was just wondering the same thing yesterday. I think you should be able to get as close as you want, as long as you remain faithful to your spouses. Everyone needs really good friends, whether it be the same sex or not. You just have to make sure you know exactly where that line is.

Well that really depends on the people, and the people they are married to. Some couples draw the line at any intimate physical contact while others are less lenient; maybe it's spending time with the other person on their birthday that makes the relationship "too close" or talking on the phone every day. There's no hard boundaries that work for everyone. Each person needs to talk with their spouse and decide what is comfortable for their relationship first, then bring the friends into it under those rules.

Are we talking about infidelity, pushing each other's buttons, or meeting across state lines? I assume that you mean being faithful to vows to your married partner. Some marriages are pretty cut and dried. You cheat if you even think about cheating....leering at a waitress or waitor, accidentally brushing up against a coworker for a cheap thrill, getting off to a porn flick, whatever. Others think it's only when you have committed an actual physical act, kissing, fondling, or sex act of any kind. If you're married, it might be wise to discuss what each of you expects from the other. You should talk about money, kids, what you hope to get out of life when you marry someone, why shouldn't you also define what fidelity means to you. Might not prevent your crossing the line, but at least you'll be fully aware you're doing it.

I don't think married people should have friends of the opposite gender unless they're couples friends.
It's not that I don't trust my partner, but I certainly don't trust other females - you never know.
I had this "friend" once and she was so jealous over the relationship I had with my boyfriend because it was exactly the way she wished hers was. I had to tell my bf to back off because she was getting pretty unstable and it made me uncomfortable.
I'm not about to let the man I love get put into a situation where he doesn't know what to do. I've gotta protect my investment, you know?

If you are asking the question, you have crossed the line. I think that if the friendship is not an issue for you, you would have never thought to ask the question.

Translations:
How close can I get to the fire without getting burned?
How long can I walk on a slippery river bank before I fall in?
How many times can I play Russian Roulette before I shoot myself?
The wise thing to do is to not play these games.

There is a line somewhere about comitting adultery in the heart.
If you are asking the question, then you have already crossed the line in your heart - now you're trying to work around the details.

About 160 yards.
Why do you want to know how close you can get to cheating and not cheat?
Sounds like you're thinking with the little head, sport.
